Daily resting energy expenditure values (REE) (median values) over time, measured by indirect calorimetry. A. REE over time in intubated COVID-19 patients without obesity (non ob) and with obesity (ob). B. REE over time in intubated COVID-19 patients without obesity according to NRMBAs administration. C. REE over time in intubated COVID -9 patients with obesity according to NRMBAs administration. Body weight: actual body weight for non ob (BMI<30 kgr/m2) and adjusted body weight for ob (BMI≥ 30 kgr/m2). ∗ Denotes statistical significant different between groups at <0.05 level, p = p value for Kruskal Wallis test, that was conducted to examine differences regarding REE measurements between different times (days). Abbreviations: ob, COVID-19 patients with obesity (BMI≥ 30 kgr/m2); non ob; COVID-19 patients without obesity (BMI< 30 kgr/m2); paralysed, administration of NMBAs.
